Tbilist, Georgea - President George W. Bush gave a call of freedom on Tuesday from the rubble of the former Soviet Empire. He addressed hundreds and thousands of cheering Georgians who are struggling for their liberty.
Speaking in a town square, Bush assured America's help to all those nations who are trying to stand against tyranny and dictatorship. He is a staunch supporter of establishing democracy all over and so has taken a regular course to promote all democratic lovers. It looks as if the President has made it a firm and regular program of his second term to spread the spirit of democracy all over the world.
The President said,"Freedom will be the future of every nation and every people on Earth," he said. "By extending liberty to millions who have not known it, we will advance the cause of freedom, and we will advance the cause of peace."
Rib Hutcheson, Free Press Washington Staff writes on Bush's celebrating Georgia's drive for democracy that the President drew parallels between recent democratic movements in nations once captive to the former Soviet Union and the far more complicated campaign to bring democracy to Iraq.
Bush's quest to spread democracy across the volatile Middle East faces obstacles, from the insurgents in Iraq to the ingrained autocracies of Egypt and Saudi Arabia to the Syrian shadow over Lebanon.
